4 Print Management
The Print Management view gives you control over remote print queues and drivers. These features can be used
to create, edit, and delete existing queues as well as to install or update printer drivers. HP Web Jetadmin can act
as a driver repository for deploying new HP drivers onto remote systems. And, HP Web Jetadmin Print
Management features use HP’s Universal Print Drivers (UPDs).
For example, you can use HP Web Jetadmin Print Management to locate a workstation or server on the network.
Once this host is found, you can add administrative credentials and begin to manage the print queue and drivers
on the remote host. Existing queues on the host can have a number of settings and/or the driver changed.
Queues can be added or removed. You must have local administrator rights on these remote systems when
performing this management activity.
File and printer sharing must be enabled at the remote host where the print queue is to be created.
Fleet Management of Print Queues
Within the Print Management view, HP Web Jetadmin has the capability of installing queues and drivers onto
multiple remote hosts. This eet queue creation can be done remotely from the HP Web Jetadmin client
interface and in a conguration session.
Users of the Print Management feature could be IT personnel in school districts. These personnel may have
responsibility over desktop print functionality and print devices in remote and wide geographic distribution. On
top of the remote distribution problem, large numbers of workstations and dierent restrictions apply. Consider
this problem:
●
Each school in the district has obtained a color MFP.
●
A dozen to several hundred student workstations could exist in each school.
●
Sta are allowed to print color but students are not.
●
IT has full administrative access to all of the workstations.
HP Web Jetadmin could be used in attaining substantial savings in an environment like this one. Pre-
conguration could be used on drivers deployed to student workstations. All drivers and queues could be
deployed through the Create Print Queue tool (Create Print Queue on page 271) and in very few conguration
sessions. Travel to each of the schools could then be reduced to a bare minimum.
Driver Management
HP Web Jetadmin facilitates driver management. Drivers can be added to the HP Web Jetadmin host which acts
like a driver repository. These drivers are installed on remote hosts where queue management is being
performed. Some of these features can be locked.
Driver management in HP Web Jetadmin includes the following:
●
Pre-congure driver (Pre-congure Driver on page 274).
●
Upload driver to available drivers (Upload Drivers to HP Web Jetadmin on page 274).
